♥Aromadough
Mamas, I have found a way to have a nice hot coffee to yourself. You can use this to sit your child down with a quiet activity after a long day, and give you a chance to regroup!
It’s called Aromadough.
It’s a simple recipe made with low tox ingredients and essential oils, making it safe for your kiddo to explore.
Once the dough has been warmed up by your child’s hands, it acts as a diffuser, and sends the beautiful scent of whichever oils you used into the air for them to breathe in and benefit from.
I use Lavender.
One, because it’s one of the cheaper oils.
Two, the benefits are like no other. You’re child will feel at ease when manipulating the lavender oiled dough and it will promote calm, quiet play.
Another favourite is Balance – the grounding blend.
This oil is fantastic at promoting calm feelings and without fail will help to create a relaxing, grounded environment.
So what’s the recipe?
Ingredients:
- 1 C. Flour
- 1 Tbsp. Oil (Olive Oil)
- 1 C. Water
- 1/2 C. Salt
- 1 Tbsp. Cream of Tartar
- Food Colouring {blue/red or purple}
- doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil.
Steps:
1. Place all ingredients in a pot and whisk them together.
2. Add about 4 drops of blue and 2 drops of red food coloring {add more/less to your desire}
3. Heat on med/high until mixture clumps together (this happens very quickly).
4. Stir the mixture the entire time to prevent sticking. It will begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.
5. Once it clumps nicely, put on wax paper to cool.
6. AFTER your dough has cooled, add 5-6 drops of doTERRA’s Lavender essential oil.
7. Knead until dough is soft and aromatic. Add more drops of oil to your liking.
8. Play & Enjoy!
